Even ardent believers wrestle with doubt. As the founding Pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, Timothy Keller compiled a list of the most frequently voiced doubts skeptics bring to his church. And in The Reason for God, he single-handedly dismantles them. Keller uses literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and reasoning to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief held by thoughtful people of intellectual integrity with a deep compassion for those who truly want to know the truth.

Keller uses literature, philosophy, real-life conversations and reasoning, and even pop culture to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief, held by thoughtful people of intellectual integrity.

I know someone personally who said this book really spoke to them. For me, no. I don't really care for intellectual thoughts of mankind. I'm not scared of 'super smart' people. I have 'reasons' and it's simply different than the author's approach. Hearing more of man's thoughts in what I'm calling 'intellectual philosophical' just doesn't work for me. If a person needs 'truth' I'd do it differently starting with the Gospels and perhaps an overall 'why' I believe from others.

This is the finest apologetic I have ever seen. Tim's theology is sound, his responses are well thought out and articulated, and he speaks with gentle loving compassion toward unbelievers, without compromising his Christian principles. The large-print edition is high quality printing and easy for sight-challenged folks to read. All my Bibles are large-type. I retain the information better, when I read large-type books.

This is an excellent resource for those with intellectual doubts about God. I purchased and read the book when a loved one highly recommended it. She had grown up in the church but has been away from God for years. This book may be a tool that God eventually uses to bring her back. I pray so!
